Lumiere's Lumigraph.

I • '» — To-day we had a visit from Mr G. P. Hausraan, who represents tap Lu-

migraph, and he has been able to satisfy us beyond doubt that the views advertised to be shown of the Jubilee procession, will be given. The fact was made very patent to us by Mr Hausman producing the actual films to be used, and thus we have seen the pictures for ourselves. This is most satisfactory, as we have previously advertised the procession to be shown which did not take place, and we were anxious that the public should not again be misled. The views of the procsssion are the longest yet shown, the film on which fhey are photographed measuring in ill 2750 feet in length. The management has arranged that reserved seats at 3s may be booked at Mr A. Fraser's book shop for their en- , tertainment next Wednesday, the other j prices being 2s and is.

In importing the above entertain" menfc the Masterton Star sa^s :— The Tinui Hall was well filled on Saturday night, when Mr G. Hausman gave an exhibition of the Lumigraph. At tlr opening of the ep'crtainment Mr Hausman delighted the audience 2 by performing some very clever *' sleight of hand -tricks; Every trick thoroughly mystified the audience, and was loudly, applauded. The Lumigraph was much admired by all, the pictures being very good and distinct. The audience, one and all, were thoroughly satisfied with their night's amusement. The only drawback to the show was the country people did not know about it. In future, when a show intends visiting here, an intimation of the fact by handbills sent to some person here for distribution amongst the settlers would be of great advantage. In this instance, if the country people had known, the takings would have been double.
